How Miss Fleming ended up in Orangeville, Ontario is a bit of a mystery:

She had a brother who was a University of Toronto professor, that may be the connection.

"Hello, I Must Be Going," and "Companion of Groucho Marx" are engraved on the tombstone ?!?!?!?! :shock:

My thought exactly. She, or her family, lashed herself to Groucho even in death. Not to mention using "Hello I Must Be Going" as an epitaph for a suicide???

I first read this as ERIC FLEMING.... Now it makes sense.

The image on the headstone is more than a bit creepy as well.

As a comedian might say, "I didn't even know it was missing!"

Now I'm afraid to investigate what Joan Barry's tombstone might look like. "Companion and Muse of Charles Chaplin and Mother of his Child"?
